Jan Engelhardt 3b3d7d069d doc: balance C indirections in function prototypes
Shift the asterisks in the documentation's prototypes such that they
are consistent among each other. Use the right side to match what is
used in source code.

Addendum to commit v209~82.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_is_fifo()</function> may be called
to check whether the specified file descriptor refers
to a FIFO or pipe. If the <parameter>path</parameter>
parameter is not <constant>NULL</constant>, it is
checked whether the FIFO is bound to the specified
file system path.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_socket()</function> may be
called to check whether the specified file descriptor
refers to a socket. If the
<parameter>family</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>, it is checked whether
the socket is of the specified family (AF_UNIX,
<constant>AF_INET</constant>, ...). If the
<parameter>type</parameter> parameter is not 0, it is
checked whether the socket is of the specified type
(<constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>,
<constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant>, ...). If the
<parameter>listening</parameter> parameter is positive,
it is checked whether the socket is in accepting mode,
i.e. <function>listen()</function> has been called for
it. If <parameter>listening</parameter> is 0, it is
checked whether the socket is not in this mode. If the
parameter is negative, no such check is made. The
<parameter>listening</parameter> parameter should only
be used for stream sockets and should be set to a
negative value otherwise.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_socket_inet()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_is_socket()</function>, but
optionally checks the IPv4 or IPv6 port number the
socket is bound to, unless <parameter>port</parameter>
is zero. For this call <parameter>family</parameter>
must be passed as either <constant>AF_UNSPEC</constant>, <constant>AF_INET</constant>, or
<constant>AF_INET6</constant>.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_socket_unix()</function> is
similar to <function>sd_is_socket()</function> but
optionally checks the <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> path the socket is bound
to, unless the <parameter>path</parameter> parameter
is <constant>NULL</constant>. For normal file system <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets,
set the <parameter>length</parameter> parameter to 0. For
Linux abstract namespace sockets, set the
<parameter>length</parameter> to the size of the
address, including the initial 0 byte, and set the
<parameter>path</parameter> to the initial 0 byte of
the socket address.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_mq()</function> may be called to
check whether the specified file descriptor refers to
a POSIX message queue. If the
<parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the
message queue is bound to the specified name.</para>
<para><function>sd_is_special()</function> may be
called to check whether the specified file descriptor
refers to a special file. If the
<parameter>path</parameter> parameter is not
<constant>NULL</constant>, it is checked whether the file
descriptor is bound to the specified file
name. Special files in this context are character
device nodes and files in <filename>/proc</filename>
or <filename>/sys</filename>.</para>

<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On failure, these calls return a negative
errno-style error code. If the file descriptor is of
the specified type and bound to the specified address,
a positive return value is returned, otherwise
zero.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<xi:include href="libsystemd-pkgconfig.xml" xpointer="pkgconfig-text"/>
<para>Internally, these function use a combination of
<filename>fstat()</filename> and
<filename>getsockname()</filename> to check the file
descriptor type and where it is bound to.</para>
